Why Take a Picture?

Emiliano Granado is interested in what photography looks like—not the final product but the process and the context in which pictures are taken. For the past few years, he has been shooting candid photographs of other people taking photographs, lost in the moments they are working to record. What do people deem worth remembering? What are they seeing, and what are they trying to accomplish? He says that it all boils down to goals of the person behind the camera: “I take photographs with a different intent than my mom does when she's visiting the Grand Canyon, you know?”
